LGBTQ Health Initiative Logo Banner

The Greater Columbus LGBTQ Health Coalition is a community-based initiative that consists of health care providers, caregivers, community leaders, organizations and allies, all with the goal of fostering positive health and safety outcomes within the city’s gender and sexually diverse communities. This includes, but is not limited to, becoming a visible voice of advocacy for gender and sexually diverse clients, educating and providing inclusive wellness resources and filling data gaps in research.

Join us at our next meeting.

Community organizations or members interested in contributing to the LGBTQ Health Coalition are invited to attend a meeting. General Body Meetings are 6 times a year. (If you would like to become more involved please consider joining a committee!) General Body and Committee meeting dates can be found here.
